Langue : Anglais
Fish exhibit the greatest diversity of all vertebrates, making this group
extremely attractive for the study of a number of evolutionary questions.
Besides, fish genomes have intrinsic characteristics that may be
responsible for this amazing diversity, but little is known about their
structure and organization. Major advances in chromosomal studies were
achieved in the current ‘molecular cytogenetic era’ based on detecting DNA
sequences on chromosomes, parts of chromosomes or even whole genomic DNA
by fluorescence in situ hybridization. In this issue, a collection of
review articles is presented together with current research results,
demonstrating the advances made using this specific methodology in fish
research. The contributions provide a timely update on recent developments
in fish molecular cytogenetics, covering topics such as karyotype
evolution, sex and B chromosomes, polyploids, and molecular evolution.
Researchers, teachers, and students interested in the structural features
and evolutionary dynamics of fish genomes will find this publication a
valuable source of current knowledge.
